It's the same orientation as the original module, which was done that way so the map would fit on the inside cover. But "north at top" is simply not a universal convention. I've recently been walking the Wandle Trail. Get a load of the official map: https://wandlevalleypark.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Wandle-Trail-Map-Interactive.pdf You will need to look very carefully to notice north is to the left.
One point - the original module was not designed to be run with a player's map. The scorecard (not reproduced in the 5e version) actually marks the players down if they spend time trying to make a map.
